The Customer understands and accepts that certain Products are created or made using processes, which do not enable to obtain Products which are all exactly identical.

ARTICLE 3: HOW TO PLACE AN ORDER

Creating a customer account

The Customer hereby states that all personal information provided is complete and accurate in order to proceed to his precise identification in any situation.

Panoptikum Collections will not check the reality of this information and may not in any case be held responsible if certain incorrect information hinders the proper execution of an order or a delivery.

On the creation of his account, the Customer chooses a login and a password, which will be specific to him to identify himself on the Website. He is solely responsible for keeping these elements confidential.

The Customer can access to his account at any time (outside of temporary periods of maintenance of the Website) and place an order or manage his personal information.

The Customer will be bound by all orders placed on the Website by his personal account.

Placing and confirmation of an order
After he has entered his identifiers, the Customer may place an order on the Website. He may add all Products identified to his shopping basket and at the end of his purchase, the Customer must validate his order. For this, the Customer must confirm the Products and the quantities selected, complete all the information requested by the Website, accept without reservation the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, by clicking on the button indicated and at last validate the payment of his order.

By placing an order on the Website, the Customer is entirely responsible for the accuracy of the identification and delivery information he provides to Panoptikum Collections. In case of error which may give rise to a delay in delivery Panoptikum Collections may not be held liable and any additional costs shall be borne by the Customer.

Once the order is confirmed by the Customer, he will receive an email from Panoptikum Collections, which is an acknowledgement of receipt of the order including all elements. The order will be considered as definitive only after its confirmation by Panoptikum Collections.

The sale contract between Panoptikum Collections and the Customer is concluded only on receipt by Panoptikum Collections of payment of the total price of the order by the Customer. Panoptikum Collections reserves the right not to validate the order on legitimate grounds.

It can appear that the Product is not available. Panoptikum Collections will inform the Customer by sending him an email. At his request, the Customer may choose:

• To be delivered for the Products, which are available and reimbursed the amount, including taxes, of the unavailable Products in his order.
• To cancel the entire order and be reimbursed its amount, including taxes and including delivery costs.

The reimbursement will be made via the same payment method as the one used by the Customer to pay the amount of his order, within 30 (thirty) days after the confirmation of his choice among the 3 available choices above.

ARTICLE 4: THE PRODUCT PRICE

The Product price is the one shown on the Website. It is in Euro including delivery costs to the address indicated by the Customer in the order form but does not include neither the costs associated with unloading of the goods, which is the responsibility of the Customer, nor duties, VAT and any other taxes due to the import of Products in the country of delivery, as well as clearing the goods through customs.

The Customer will have to pay for customs duties or VAT or any other taxes due to the import of Products in the country of delivery. This also applies to the purchase of gifts or other purchases made on behalf of another recipient.

The Product price and the delivery costs are the full price of the order. They have to be paid in cash and in full by the Customer when the order is placed.

Unfortunately, Panoptikum Collections has no control over customs and import charges and cannot inform the Customer how much they will be before he orders. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. We recommend the Customer to contact his local customs office for further information.

ARTICLE 5: TERMS OF PAYMENT OF AN ORDER

The Customer pays his order by bank card via a dedicated secure platform accessible from the Website.

When the Customer pays his order, he warrants that he is the holder of the bank card used. The Customer’s bank account will be debited after the bank’s agreement to debit the Customer’s bank account.

In order to protect all information about the bank card used for an order payment, the Website uses one of the most efficient site security systems currently available. Panoptikum Collections never has access to any confidential information about the means of payment. Therefore, the payment information is always asked for any order placed by the Customer. In the event of a fraudulent use of his bank card with Panoptikum Collections, the Customer is invited to contact Panoptikum Collections at the email address in the preamble of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

A payment order made by bank card cannot be cancelled. This is irrevocable, without prejudice to the Customer’s right to exercise his right of withdrawal.

The Customer can also use these other terms of payment:

• Bank transfer to Panoptikum Collections: Details of Panoptikum Collections bank account are issued to the Customer by an email when he orders.
  If the Customer’s bank does not agree to transfer the payment after 7 days from the date of placing the order, Panoptikum Collections can cancel the Customer’s order;
• Paypal / Braintree
  The Customer becomes the owner of the Products after full payment of the price of his order.
  In case of incomplete payment, Panoptikum Collections reserves its right to claim the return of the ordered Products. The Customer shall pay for any costs in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 6: DELIVERY OF AN ORDER

Delivery occurs after the registration of the full payment of the order price; The Customer’s order will be sent to the address he has indicated in the order form, after confirmation of the order. The Customer can also be delivered to another physical address if he wants. The Customer will be informed of the shipment of the Products by email.

The delivery time of the Products will be indicated to the Client upon placing his order. Panoptikum Collections will make its best effort to ensure that the order is shipped within the delays indicated on the Website at the time of order by the Customer, within the limits of available stocks, and only after full receipt of the Customer’s payment.

Except special mention, when the Product price shown on the Website is accompanied by the mention “stock Paris”, the Products are shipped by Colissimo within 24 hours, not including holidays and weekends.

With regards to Products available with a delivery time of several weeks, an extension of the delivery time cannot under any circumstances give way to a cancelation of order or to a repayment by Panoptikum Collections.

Under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, goods are delivered DAP (Delivery At Place) at the address indicated by the Customer in the order form. The unloading of the goods is the responsibility of the Customer. The Customer is also required to sort out duties, VAT and any other taxes due to the import of Products in the country of delivery, as well as clearing the goods through customs. The Customer is also solely responsible for the formalities related thereto unless otherwise specified. The Customer is solely responsible for checking whether the Products ordered can be imported under domestic law in the country of delivery.

It can happen that an order contains Products deliverable at different dates. In this case, Panoptikum Collections will send an email to the Customer to inform him. The Customer may choose to receive each Product according to the delivery dates of each Product. However, this service may involve higher delivery costs to the Customer which will be indicated by the Customer Service. If the Customer chooses to receive his order in one batch, the longest delivery period will be the one to refer to.

However, the delivery may not be guaranteed in the case of a force majeure event as defined within the meaning of the case law of the Estonian courts.

In case of absence of the Customer during delivery, a notice will be left by the carrier. Products may therefore be collected following carrier’s indications. In absence of Products’ withdrawal by the Customer in the limited period fixed by the carrier, the Products will be returned to Panoptikum Collections.

Panoptikum Collections will reserve the right to reimburse the Customer, while the delivery costs will remain at the Customer’s charge.

Delivery is considered completed when the Product is disposable at the place of delivery as agreed with the Customer when placing the order.

The transfer of risks of loss and damage of the Products will take place after the delivery and receipt of the Products by the Customer.

The Customer shall check the content, the conformity and the condition of the Product(s) when delivered and before signing the acknowledgement of receipt of the package.

If the Customer finds any anomalies, he must refuse the delivery of the Products and can make dated and handwritten reservations. In the event where the carrier refuses to allow the Customer to do so, the latter must notify the impossibility to indicate the condition of the Products in handwriting, signing and dating the delivery slip, then proceed with all the necessary reservations with the carrier. These reservations must be confirmed to the latter by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within three (3) business days following the delivery of the Products. A copy must be addressed to Panoptikum Collections by email to the following address: info@panoptikumcollections.com
